One thing I've learned is that the short term goals are great and help keep us motivated, what we're doing is lifestyle changes, so you're likely right about that last sentence. If you did have to take a short break, it won't set you back too much in term of overall fitness, and anything you did lose would come back much faster the second time. Fitness is accumulated over a long term, so thinking long term is usually safest.
